Video originally posted to Youtube by DCfred of Kathy Griffin's performance in front of the White House AKA the "Kremlin Annex" on Sep 6, 2018. Description as below:
Two-time Emmy and Grammy Award winning comedian and New York Times bestselling author Kathy Griffin, who is currently on tour and will be performing later this week at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., roasted President Trump outside the White House on day 53 of the Kremlin Annex protest. My friend and DCfred regular, Philipos Melaka-Bello, introduces the video. From the press release:
“The grassroots #KremlinAnnex protests were sparked on Twitter on Monday, July 16th as Americans shared their shock and anger over the events in Helsinki, where Trump held a secretive, closed door meeting with Vladimir Putin and a joint press conference during which he took aim at the media, F.B.I., U.S. Intelligence Community, and his political opponents. Over a thousand activists showed up in front of the White House to protest the next evening as Trump arrived back from Helsinki, and the nightly demonstrations have continued ever since, combining art and music with political advocacy.
Some notable speakers from previous #KremlinAnnex protests include attorney Michael Avenatti; actress and activist Alyssa Milano; comedian and performer Rosie O’Donnell who was joined by dozens of Broadway performers; activist Patricia Okoumou ( known as “Lady Liberty”); environmental activist and teacher Kristin Mink; the mother of imprisoned whistle blower Reality Winner, Billie Davis-Winner; as well as other activists and more than a dozen U.S. Senators and Representatives.
Protests at the #KremlinAnnex have been peaceful and fun, and have been highlighted in the Washington Post, New York Times, The Hill, CNN, MSNBC, People Magazine, and other media outlets. Every night, the crowd also raises their voice in unison to thank the Secret Service and Park Police for protecting their right to free speech and free assembly.”
